March is National Women’s History Month

Did you know that Flushing Hospital Medical Center was founded in 1884 by a group of community women who set up a room with one bed in a rented house? Today the hospital is a 293-bed voluntary, not-for-profit teaching hospital. The medical center, located in the city’s most culturally diverse borough, has served the health care needs of the community for more than a century, and has, over the years, become a solid and vital part of the infrastructure of the city itself.
